Nesodillo Arcangelii 'Shiro Utsuri'
Nesodillo Arcangelii 'Shiro Utsuri' is a rare and visually captivating isopod species admired for its stunning black and white pattern, reminiscent of the Shiro Utsuri koi fish. Originating from unique habitats, this species is highly prized among collectors and bioactive vivarium enthusiasts. Its distinct coloration adds a striking contrast to vivarium setups while performing a key role in breaking down organic material, contributing to a thriving ecosystem.
Care
Lighting Requirement:
Nesodillo 'Shiro Utsuri' prefers low to moderate lighting. These isopods thrive in shaded environments that mimic their natural habitat. Avoid direct, harsh light, as it may cause stress.
Moisture & Humidity:
Maintaining high humidity is essential for this species, with ideal levels between 75-90%. Provide a moist, well-draining substrate, and mist the enclosure regularly. Ensure that there are both moist and dry areas to allow the isopods to self-regulate.
Temperature Requirement:
Nesodillo 'Shiro Utsuri' thrives in temperatures ranging from 70-80°F (21-27°C). Protect them from temperature extremes, particularly those below 60°F (16°C), as they are sensitive to cold environments.
Feeding:
These isopods feed on decaying organic matter, including leaf litter, rotting wood, and vegetables. Supplement their diet with calcium sources like cuttlebone to support proper exoskeleton development and ensure optimal health.
Key Points
Moderate Reproductive Rate, Moist Environment, Medium in Size
